Whose doorstep is this? The hole is about the diameter of a soft drink can. It's in the bank of a small creek. The hole is half-filled with water. Come out so I can see you!

@catselbow too small for a muskrat?

Maybe? I don't know if I've ever seen a muskrat up close.

@catselbow

Here you go. Although you can't see the size, it stretches out when swimming and easily disappears into a small hole in the bank at the water level or just below.

That's a wonderful photo!

The consensus seems to be pointing toward muskrat. I'll keep an eye out for them!
